20090061495 | Treatment Systems and Processes for Lignocellulosic Substrates that Contain Soluble Carbohydrates - A biorefining process used to convert lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol via a fermentation pathway. In a first pretreatment process step, the biomass is mixed with an aqueous wash solution to remove soluble carbohydrates from the biomass structure. Next, the solid fraction is separated from a liquid fraction. In a second pretreatment process, the solid fraction is pre-treated to make the fiber bundles and complex polysaccharides more amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis. Following the second pretreatment process, the pre-treated biomass is subjected to one or more enzymes in a hydrolysis process. The liquid fraction isolated from the first pretreatment process is diverted past the second pretreatment process and is recombined with the solid fraction in the hydrolysis process. The enzyme cocktail in the hydrolysis process breaks down the alpha- and hemicellulose polymers into fermentable sugars. Finally, a fermentation process produces a “beer” that is further processed in a distillation and dehydration process. | 03-05-2009 |

20090275098 | SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR ENHANCED YIELD FROM FERMENTATIONS THAT CONTAIN XYLOSE - A system and process for the utilization of xylose during fermentation is described. The system uses a fermenter and a separate reactor to isomerize the xylose to xylulose. The separation of the two processes allows the optimization of each process since the isomerization operates ideally in a calcium free environment near pH 7.5 while the fermentation operates ideally below a pH of 6. Control of pH is assisted by the modulation of CO2 in the fermentation medium. Xylulose is fermented to ethanol by numerous standard yeasts although other products are also possible. The separate reactor may be run in a single pass, or, more preferably in a recirculating mode to allow full isomerization while the xylulose product is being consumed by the yeast. A preferred embodiment includes a Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation system where the liquid portion of the fermenting broth is isomerized and returned to the fermentation vessel. | 11-05-2009 |

A primitive gate is selected with its respective fan-out gates, interconnects attached to the primitive gate's output and interconnects attached to the output of each respective fan-out gate are determined. Using a metric, it is determined if the Miller capacitance effect of a CMOS gate on timing of its fan-out gate and interconnect timing is significant for each fan-out gate. If yes, the gate is replaced with a nonlinear driver model. If no, the gate is replaced with a fixed or dynamic capacitance. Next, if at least one of the fan-out gates is replaced with the nonlinear driver model, the primitive gate is likewise replaced with its corresponding nonlinear model as well. Then, a nonlinear timing simulation is performed on the circuit to generate voltage waveforms at the output of the primitive gate and the input of its fan-out gates that incorporate the effect of the Miller capacitance. However, if none of the fan-out gates are replaced with the nonlinear driver model, a conventional gate and interconnect timing analysis is preferably performed. | 10-30-2008 |

A heating fluid supply channel is connected to a supply of heating fluid that is at a first pressure and to the housing and arranged to direct heating fluid into the housing. A heating fluid return channel is connected to the housing and to a supply of heating fluid that is at a second pressure that is lower than the first pressure, and is arranged to direct heating fluid away from the housing. The heating fluid can be engine oil, engine coolant, compressed air or exhaust gas. | 07-29-2010 |

20130199371 | REDUCTION OF FOULING IN AFTER TREATMENT COMPONENTS - A device and method for influencing exhaust gas flow downstream of a turbocharger turbine and upstream of after treatment components prevents doser tip fouling by using a passive exhaust flow control surface comprising ridges protruding into the exhaust gas flow conduit. The ridges are disposed parallel to each other, and perpendicular to the direction of gas flow. In one embodiment, a funnel is disposed in the conduit, downstream of the ridges, to further direct the exhaust gas flow more precisely towards a HC doser tip. | 08-08-2013 |
20150075481 | OIL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE FUEL ECONOMY AND MINIMUM WEAR RATES - A system and method for managing the characteristics of engine oil in a lubrication system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. Generally speaking, the method includes the steps of determining a target viscosity for the engine oil based on engine speed and engine load, determining a working viscosity which may be directly measured or determined based on engine oil temperature and engine oil type, comparing the target viscosity to the working viscosity, deriving a target engine oil temperature, and directing engine oil to one of an oil cooler, an oil heater, or neither when and until the target engine oil temperature is achieved. The oil viscosity management system includes an engine lubrication system having a volume of engine oil, a cooler coupled to the lubrication system, a heating mechanism also coupled to the lubrication system, a valving system for directing flow of the oil and coupled to each of the lubrication system, the cooler and the heating mechanism, a signal generator for generating a signal based on operational parameters of the engine, and an estimator for controlling the valving system in response to the signal. | 03-19-2015 |

20150378828 | TEST DATA MANAGEMENT - A method for managing test data includes receiving a request indicative of a testing application from a requesting user and identifying a plurality of test data in a source database matching the request. Further, the method includes determining a reserved status of the plurality of test data, and, when the reserved status indicates that the plurality of test data is not reserved by the user other than the requesting user, reserving the plurality of test data for the requesting user. Still further, the method includes transferring a copy of the plurality of test data to a test database, wherein a testing application executes based on the copy of the plurality of test data stored in the test database. | 12-31-2015 |

20090051557 | METHOD AND ELECTRICAL SWITCHING APPARATUS INCLUDING A NUMBER OF ACCESSORIES EMPLOYING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A circuit breaker includes separable contacts, an operating mechanism opening and closing the contacts, a first processor determining an open or closed state of the contacts, and a wireless transceiver transmitting the open or closed state from the first processor and receiving a signal. A first accessory includes a wireless receiver, a second processor and outputs. A second accessory includes a wireless transmitter, a third processor and a circuit generating the signal for or communicating the signal to the third processor, which outputs the signal to the wireless transmitter, which transmits the signal to the wireless transceiver. The first processor receives the signal from the wireless transceiver and causes the mechanism to open or close the contacts. The wireless receiver receives the open or closed state from the wireless transceiver. The second processor receives the open or closed state from the wireless receiver and outputs the same to the outputs. | 02-26-2009 |
